La Poutine Week 2014

La Poutine Week is back! With 30 delicious top quality restaurants making never before seen poutine for the week of La Poutine Week only! From the 1st to 7th of February, it’s a contest, a fun food festival and a great way to keep warm!

La Poutine Week goes on from the 1st to the 7th of February and it’s not only in Montreal, but Quebec City, Ottawa and Toronto.

The concept was created as a fun festival to bring people together around a traditional dish of poutine. 30 different restaurants in Montreal will be pushing the limits to create a special poutine for 10$ or less only for the week of La Poutine Week. Fans and eaters are then asked to vote on www.LaPoutineWeek.com so a poutine champ can be crowned?as the best Poutine in the city by the end of the week.

La Poutine Week combines a food festival with a fun food contest that allows discerning diners to sample and rank their favorite poutines for the full week. Online votes and a few celebrity tasters will help crown one of the city’s best poutines! Restaurants like Imadake Izakaya, Chez Boris, Miss Pret a Manger, Ice House and La Banquise will be among the many involved this year! This unique dining experience invites you to discover and savour special poutines at special prices. A full listing of participating establishments can be found at: www.LaPoutineWeek.com

The event was co-created by Montreal food blogger Le Mechant Mangeur (AKA Na’eem Adam). “It’s the gravy that keeps us together and I love that about Montreal!” says Na’eem Adam. “The unique offerings from the restaurants on a traditional Quebecois dish are a reflection of our mixed culture in Montreal”, adds Thierry Rassam, co-founder of the event.

La Poutine Week in Montreal is a contest, a fun food tour and a discovery tool for hungry Montrealers looking for new poutine places in this great city! For more information visit: www.lapoutineweek.com.
